Netflix Basic Plan is being discontinued.

That is a big jump.

I still get mine at £4.99 but with adverts. It's a pain but Prime did a similar thing.

It’s a pain but still worth it ( to us) as our main source of entertainment.
Think what you pay as a couple at the cinema to watch just one film.

I miss it, I did get it courtesy of my son but they stopped allowing the account holder to set up several accounts. There are several shows Netflix has that I'd like to see, everyone seems to be talking about Baby Reindeer right now. I've recently subscribed to Apple tv, they have some good things, once I've exhausted what they do have, I may cancel and subscribe to Netflix. I've subscribed to Amazon since lock down for deliveries, but don't find that much to watch over there.

I think Netflix is good value, lots of original dramas. Apple has a few good shows but nowhere near as many.

I already pay the premium charge and then for more users! I really enjoy the service and all of us use it frequently.

I don't pay for Netflix, is it better value than the TV licence?

I got an email about this yesterday,it said if you do nothing you will automatically transfer onto the £4.99 p.m. with adverts which I'm happy with.

Thanks Jane113 for the info. We use Netflix. Watched Baby Reindeer the other night, but gave up on it. Not our cup of tea. Have recently struggled to find anything worthwhile to watch. Our 30 something DD says the same.
With very little now on landline tv we don't want to give up Netflix yet.

Sorry Jane 112! It's been a busy day!

What would you say is a film / series you like.
I guarantee to find you a good film.
Btw, have you watched Schitts Creek. It is sooooo good we have watched the whole series 3 times. It has cult status in the US.

Like you Grandmabatty, our Netflix subscription will remain at £4.99 but with adverts so your OP isn't accurate Delila.

My Netflix is £4.99 - I don’t mind the ads. I hope they don’t increase that as well.

I pay £4.99 started a month ago when the sharing with family was discontinued. It’s great value in my opinion. I’ve already watched ‘Baby Reindeer’ (stellar).

Last month I took my grandson to the cinema a fortnight ago (Kung Foo Panda 4 - don’t ask!) and one adult ticket and one child ticket at the Trafford Centre cost me £26! 😱

We have 4 streaming services. If I just had to have one it would be Netflix.
There is practically nothing we want to watch on terrestrial tv.
National Geographic is very good. That’s with Disney +.
And no, it’s not all cartoons. Shardlake is starting tonight.

Netflix is stonking value I think, we pay the higher rate already. It is our saviour on a Saturday evening when the TV is stuffed with 'family entertainment', quiz shows, and numerous talent shows.

Are the adverts a nuisance?

A slight irritation. But still better than relying on terrestrial tv to entertain us.

Desdemona - sorry to jump in - no, the adverts are not a nuisance . I put the kettle on or check GN or FB …

I quite happy with the reduction to £4.99 with adverts. A minor hitch.

I’m staying with offer of one with adverts. Certainly giving it a trial as don’t wish to pay more. Fed up]
With increasing bills.

Desdemona the adverts are a slight irritation but I mute til they're over, the same as I do elsewhere.

I opt in and out of Netflix, perhaps being in for 3 separate months each year. I only re-join for a specific film or series that I want to view. £4.99 with adverts is OK by me.

Yes, you’re right, those of you who pay £4.99 for the “with adverts” subscription” - that’ s still available. I’d rather pay more to avoid adverts.

I still think Netflix is good value, despite the increase, and offers a wide range of programmes across many genres. I’d almost pay it to be able to re-watch Schitt’s Creek as often as I like, it’s the best!

Interesting to hear people comparing it to other streaming services.
